Monday morning runs to Sunday night 
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies 
Won't take much to kill a lovin' smile 
And every mother with a baby cryin in her arms sings 
G                             A 
Give me help, give me strength 
                                     G 
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep 
Give me love, give me peace 
          C                          E 
Don't you know these days you pay for everything 

          A 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 

Comin' from the city, comin' from the wild 
I see a breathless army breakin' like a cloud 
They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes 
Before the meek inherit, they'll learn to hate themselves 
G                             A 
Give me help, give me strength 
                                     G 
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep 
Give me love, give me peace 
          C                          E 
Don't you know these days you pay for everything 

          A 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 
Got high hopes, got high hopes 

So tell me someone, now, what's the price 
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life 
I wanna have a wife I wanna have some kids 
I want to look in their eyes and know they stand a chance 
G                             A 
Give me help, give me strength 
                                     G 
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep 
Give me love, give me peace 
          C                          E 
Don't you know these days you pay for everything 

          A 
Got high hopes 
Got high hopes 
Got high hopes 
Got high hopes
